v8 Build 153 - Beta

The highlight of this release is a new system for patching stats of content on servers and maps. This system will allow players to customize health, requirements, recipes, weapons, bullets, etc. individually. This is not a replacement for modding, as it does not allow adding new assets or content, but it does allow making major changes to the way the game is played and balanced.
